Further to the reply to WAQ77349, where the Leader of the House referred to 93,529 premises in the intervention area for phase 2 of Superfast Cymru, how does the Welsh Government account for the additional 5,376 premises which have been included since the tender document which listed a total of 88,153 premises?

Answered by Leader of the House and Chief Whip | Answered on 26/11/2018

The additional 5,376 premises is a consequence of the resubmission of OMR data from Openreach following the identification of incorrect service data. 

 

This has seen the number of “under review” premises drop and “white” premises increased leading to the extra targeted premises.  The tender documents for the successor scheme were updated during the procurement process to account for this change.
